Greta Gerwig Now Regrets Working With Woody Allen

Following the activity of the Time's Up movement at the 2018 Golden Globe Awards, Dylan Farrow condemned those who claimed to stand with sexual misconduct survivors but continue to work with Woody Allen. Dylan had previously alleged in a letter in The New York Times that her father, Woody, had sexually abused her. Following Dylan's Golden Globes condemnation, one of Woody's former collaborators has expressed her regret for working with Woody.

In an interview with The New York Times, Lady Bird director Greta Gerwig was asked about the current climate in Hollywood and Woody specifically. Greta worked with him on To Rome With Love in 2012.

"I would like to speak specifically to the Woody Allen question, which I have been asked about a couple of times recently, as I worked for him on a film that came out in 2012," Greta said. "It is something that I take very seriously and have been thinking deeply about, and it has taken me time to gather my thoughts and say what I mean to say. I can only speak for myself and what I’ve come to is this: If I had known then what I know now, I would not have acted in the film."

She goes on to point out that she has not worked with Woody again since then and that Dylan's recent pieces made her realize that she "increased another woman's pain." She explained, "I was heartbroken by that realization. I grew up on his movies, and they have informed me as an artist, and I cannot change that fact now, but I can make different decisions moving forward.”

Following the interview, Dylan responded on Twitter saying "Greta, thank you for your voice. Thank you for your words. Please know they are deeply felt and appreciated."
